My eyes have been opened........

After years of being chastised by fellow Clemson fans for being too easy on Carolina, I am beginning to understand why it is hard to have any empathy for them. I am a Clemson Alumni and have been a fan for as long as I can remember but I also have several family members and friends that are Gamecock fans. I guess being around these fans over the years has sheltered me from the absurdities that exist among the #### followers at large.
With my increasing craving for College football to return, I have ventured to other boards to see what outlook each has for the coming season. Only last night did I extend this effort to FGF. The pure loss for realism was shocking. I am convinced that half of their fan base (and posts for that matter) are more interested in the status of the Tigers. This type of fan is motivated not by the success of the team they support, but more by any negative (real or fabricated) impact to their rival. I know that Clemson has the same type of fan, but these people do not dominate the discussions or stands.
As one last jester of good will, there were a couple of post asking about traffic patterns around Williams Brice as apparently there is construction in the area. In response to those I offer this picture of the direction I believe everything around there will flow.

Coincidentally, the same traffic pattern works around Kenan Stadium as well!

of African American studies will be taking a look at the pattern around that stadium to see how to improve it. Rumor is that will be offered as a summer course next year. That is an actual rumor.

to WB along Bluff and Shop Roads. Imagine opponents' fans travelling there the first time off I-77.

smell fecies, then exit immediately, drive through the ghetto and past the meth heads/crack addicts and the stadium will be there on your left.
If you plan on tailgating, there are some beautiful truck depots where you can park and enjoy time with your friends. Be sure to have plenty of dollar bills with you to keep all the bums happy.
Oh and in the game, be sure to take in all the Gamecock football memories. Check out their trophy case and play a game I like to call "Count all the championship banner" hanging in the stadium.

...and all of the parking around the stadium is gone after next year. As for traffic, Clemson may have the worst getting in/out of town as anyone. With a town that small, however, it's not surprising. Actually, all stadium traffic sucks...anywhere.
